December inflation came in softer than expected. The headline CPI printed at +0.31% month-over-month and +2.7% year-over-year, while the core gauge—stripping out volatile food and energy prices—climbed 0.24% MoM and 2.6% YoY. These milder-than-anticipated figures could ease some pressure on monetary policy expectations and warrant attention from traders positioning portfolios across risk assets.

It hasn't gone down, it's just looking better than expected. Don't be fooled.

Inflation data softens, the central bank might breathe a sigh of relief, but what about our wallets?

Inflation isn't as bad as I thought, but I still don't quite believe it.

Inflation isn't as scary anymore, but can we really trust it...
